Hmm. This is a tough topic. It seems kind of like the Superman film business of a few years back. Everytime someone suggested an actor that they thought would make a good Superman, Lex Luthor or Lois Lane, people screamed "Noooooooo! Not him/her! Anyone but that!"

Heh. I remember people said the same thing about Christopher Reeve, that he would never be able to fill the cape. Now it's *his* performance everybody has to live up to.

I don't know who to have play the main cast, because whoever you picked, someone wouldn't like them. It would be difficult to find a 700-pound bodybuilder to play He-Man, but *GOD* help them if they want to CGI the Prince Adam actor up to play him. It will be the Hulk all over again. Nobody would accept it.

SORRY for the bad 80's perm but I didn't feel like fixing it. I just wanted to get a quick idea of how the "Aquaman dude" might look in costume, which definitely needs to be updated for a movie. I'm sure it's no mystery where this pic is from originally.

If all of that body is his body (i.e. if it's not just his head), then I definitely think that we have a good candidate to play He-Man here.

That's not Alan Ritchson's actual body, although as I've stated before, a few extra hours at the gym and he could easily get there. Right now, Ritchson has closer to the Dolph Lundgren in his prime physique.

Imagine how bad the original Conan movie would have been had it been filled with all top billing names....it would have probably sucked......the same thing here....lets get some lesser known people, stick to a realistic budget and create something as good as the original Conan or even the first beastmaster movie...neither were the greatest top billed movies ever made but the represented realistic magical barbabrian worlds....thats what I want to see......the barbaric aspect of MOTU with just enough magic/technology thrown in to make it like the mini comics.

This is OT but I'm gonna say it anyway... I'm so sick of the skinny death look in hollywood. whats wrong with a girl looking healthy? And I want whoever jplays the female roles to look healthy in the upcoming MOTU movie. No skinny twings please!

Yeah, I agree. I'm sure that Keira would look pretty good if she would put some weight on, but as is... Ugh. Way too superthin.

To think that somebody thought that Keira could play She-Ra , let alone Teela.

I agree, I don't know why the Hollywood girls think that super skinny is sexy! They llok bad, don't they know that?

Keira Knightly would definitely be a bad Teela.

For the X-Men movie, I know who Halle Barry, Patrick Stewart were; Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn and Ray Park were new hotness.
MANY of the key roles of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Rogue and Cyclops were filled by relative unknowns taking a role for their first "summer blockbuster."

So I'm thinking a handful of really well known actors to invite curiosity would be okay. And I'll say it again, I'd REALLY like
Duncan to be played by Sean Bean, with a hottie Sorceress with Lena Heady in the role.
We should get fresh faces for Adam and Teela, doesn't much matter who plays the cameo role of Keldor. Femme fatale role of Evil Lyn is key; Warner Bros. likes Monica Bellucci [Tears of the Sun, the Matrix] and so do I !!
